Active warfare is
said to be like a game of chess, and it is sufficiently active in West
Tennessee just now. An unexpected counter move has brought us to this place. The
force that attacked Wolford turns out to be the advance of a large army under
Longstreet. Strange that, after marching so many thousands of miles, as we have
done this summer, the fortunes of war should again throw us together.
